Summary Judgment in Claims for Negligence in Connection with Burst Pipe Affirmed
In Capitol Sprinkler Inspection, Inc. v. Guest Serv., Inc., No. 09-7128, third-party claims for negligence and breach of contract in connection with a burst pipe at a building managed by third-party defendant, summary judgment for third-party defendant is affirmed where 1) the alacrity with which defendant staunched the flow of water was relevant only to the measure of damages, not to liability; 2) because plaintiff did not show “good cause,” the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time; 3) the district court did not err in denying plaintiff’s motion to strike defendant’s reply brief.
